Making Process Planning Cool Again

Processes are falling out of fashion.
Planning is out "Planning to learn" is in. Little bets, experimentation, just start, iteration, rapid prototyping ,
lean - these are the cool kids. Process is the dork in the corner.

Salient Features of ASP.NET MVC Architecture

1. follows Layered Architecture
2. follows multi-tiered Architecture.
3. follows Plug-in Architecture with the help of DI/IOC Container (Using StructureMap)
4. using ORM(Entity Framework) in Data Access Layer.
5. ORM is lightly coupled to Architecture with the help of  DI/IOC Container(StructureMap) and AutoMapper Framework(Converts  EntityFramework Classes to Domain Classes)
6. Encourages Domain Driven Design, Object-Oriented Programming and  Design, Design Patterns.
7. Follows Service-Oriented Design (Ready to be deployed across multiple Nodes)
8. Geared towards TDD and BDD

What is new in Visual Studio 2012 Unit Tests.

What is new in Visual Studio 2012 Unit Tests

1. Can search a unit test from IDE

2. The new Fake environment let you test anything in isolation, even when it has external dependencies.

Stubs:- Concrete Implementations of interfaces or abstract classes that you can pass in to your system-under-test to isolate it from real implementations

Shims:- generated classes that enable you to intercept and replace calls to existing classes, even those from the .NET BCL.

They are evil.

Use them and then refactor your code to remove them.
